woaw, 25 cents?!?! goodness!

Reminds me of the music business. Musicians tend not to make too much off cd sales, despite their price. They make more from live performances.

Jennifer Joy has mentioned that when she reached over 1000 subscribers she almost immediately was earning more than audible sales.

Nice batch Abmom!

Elizabeth in Compromise and Consequence was great. She didn't let her emotions rule her, she utilized the Art of War. Darcy didn't stand a chance, LOL. It is the only one I really liked from that author.

Does anyone else think it is bizarre when an author can make more money off a youtube channel, than selling their $7.50-25.00 audiobooks via amazon?
Didn't Amazon originally start out as a bookstore?

I read your 2 shorts and enjoyed them!

Sorry you didn't enjoy those Rose, but kudos for the progress!

Not posting about a written story, but I have been wondering:

Over all the years that we have read hundreds of variations of all kinds from both published and unpublished authors,
has anyone ever considered writing one as well?

*hugs* Jeanne. It is very difficult to lose our loved ones in any way or speed.

It is good that the doctors are on top of things and provide you with options!
I pray for a full and speedy recovery.
